2010 Map of Iola

About this map

Iola anchors the southeast corner of this central Wisconsin landscape, where the Iola 1870C480 Dam controls the waters of Iola Lake. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the South Branch Little Wolf River and its numerous tributaries, including Griffin Creek, Nace Creek, and Leer Creek. Small rural clusters like Northland and Peru are connected by a network of county highways and gravel roads, with the Northland Cemetery and Hitterdahl Cemetery serving as important landmarks for local genealogy and history. The northern reaches of the quadrangle feature several glacial lakes such as Lake Helen, North Lake, and Siemer Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography of Waupaca County. This survey reflects the region's agricultural character and the enduring presence of these small water-dependent settlements in the early 21st century.
